Where to sit
At Drury Lane, the Royal Circle is the premium tier, with superb panoramic views and excellent legroom. The Stalls are prime, but mind your neck at the front and the overhang at the back. The Grand Circle is solid but distant, and the Balcony is the cheapest way in, from £27.50, with tight legroom and possible obstructions.
